Pool service scheduling in Jobber: routes and repairs in one view

Pool service is really two businesses on one calendar. There's recurring maintenance — the same stops, every week, on a route — and there's one-off work: repairs, green-to-clean, equipment installs. They schedule completely differently, but Jobber shows them the same way.

Two jobs, one grid

• Recurring routes fill the week solid with visits that look booked. When a new customer calls, "everything looks taken" — even though a tech's Tuesday route may have room for one more stop in the right neighborhood.
• Repairs and installs are the opposite: a bigger block that ties up a tech for part or all of a day, and needs to slot around the routes.

The question you're really asking is "who has room today, near this pool?" — and the standard calendar makes you work that out by hand.

The two reads you need

1. For route techs: how full is the day? A tech doing several stops is never simply free or booked — you want stops assigned vs. capacity, so you can see who can take one more.
2. For repairs: who's actually open for a bigger block? That's the free/booked read — and you want it by area so the drive makes sense.

What to put in place

• One availability view that handles both routes (capacity) and repairs (free/booked).
• A fast way to see who has room near a customer before you promise a visit.
• Days off and partial availability folded in, so the seasonal crunch doesn't turn into overbooking.
